OSHKOSH WISCONSIN
Dear Mr. Patek,
I am writing on behalf of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation requesting City of
Oshkosh to grenat WisDOT a noise variance work on US 41 for Projects 1120- 11 -83;
US 41/45 Interchange; 1120- 10 -72; US 41/9' Avenue Interchange; 1120- 10 -73; US 41
Mainline work from STH 44 to Witzel Avenue; 1120- 10 -79, WIS 44 over US 41 Structure
Painting; 1120 -10 -71 20 Avenue Bridge replacement; 1120 -09 -83 US 41 Northbound
widening from US 45 to Breezewood Lane. These projects will generally start
construction in 2010 and be completed in 2011.
We are requesting this variance due to the large traffic volumes on US 41 and trying to
reduce congestion during construction. We will need to complete some phases of the
work at night to avoid traffic backups on US 41. The type of work to be done may be
grading, asphalt paving, traffic control and other phases that need to be done without
impacting traffic.
WisDOT previously requested in August 2008 and were approved for noise variances
for bridge demolition and girder placement for Witzel Avenue, 9 Avenue and 20
Avenue structures. This new request covers other aspects of the work beyond the
structures.
The contractor and WisDOT will be communicating exact dates of work after the
projects are let and awarded.
We will be requesting other noise variances on other work on the US 41 project in the
future. I foresee reqests for the US 41/21 interchange area as well.
Please let me know if you would like me to attend any City Council meetings to discuss
this request. We would like the City to responds to this request by December 15, 2009.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 920 -492 -0142.
Sincerely,
Z l
